e16023 Background: Camrelizumab, a programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, has recently demonstrated efficacy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients in a phase III trial. We report real-world clinical outcomes of camrelizumab therapy for ESCC patients in a multicenter prospective cohort. Methods: Eligible patientswereadvanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with stage II-IV confirmed by pathology (including histology or cytology). All patients had received at most one systematic treatment and ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Camrelizumab monotherapy(200mg) or combined with chemo-radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy as a first or second line of therapy were included. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS) and safety data were evaluated. This abstract summarizes the findings of an exploratory interim analysis (cut-off Dec 2020). Results: From Oct 2019-Dec 2020, 63 patients were enrolled (19 centers in China; mean age 62.26 years; 97% ECOG PS 1; 54% first line therapy). Patients received camrelizumab monotherapy (8; 13%), camrelizumab/chemo-radiotherapy combination therapy (22, 35%), camrelizumab/chemotherapy combination therapy (26, 41%), camrelizumab/chemotherapy/antiangiogenic therapy combination therapy (7, 11%). One patient achieved a complete response and 27 patients achieved a partial response, leading to an ORR of 41.26%. The DCR was 95.24%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.33 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.73-NA). Among patients with adequate samples test for LBH level and (lung immune prognostic index) LIPI score, 15.7% (8/51) patients had a high LBH level;63% (29/46), 32.6% (15/46) and 4.3% (2/46) patients had a good, middle and poor LIPI score, respectively. A significantly longer PFS was observed in patients with a normal LBH level (NA vs. 6.33 months, P = 0.049), and also in patients treated with first-line therapy (6.33 months vs. NA, P = 0.0338). Among adverse events, 4 patients (6.35%) reported grade 3-4 AEs, including pneumonia (n=2 [3.17%]), and bone marrow suppression (n=2 [3.17%]). 10 of 63 patients (15.87%) experienced any grade pneumonia, and 21 of 63 patients (33.33%) experienced grade 1-2 RCCEP. Conclusions: This real-world population showed that camrelizumab as the first- or second-line therapy was an effective and safe treatment for patients with ESCC.
